Figures better<br />
than expected<br />
From Page 1<br />
‘‘People havereally embracedthe ‘shop<br />
local’ concept and, although customer<br />
spending is down in level 1and 2, things<br />
have remained overall pretty steady.”<br />
Mr Dalton says, overall, the<br />
Waimakariri district is weathering the<br />
stormbetter than the rest of <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
and betterthan New Zealand as awhole.<br />
‘‘TheGDP figure is muchbetterthan<br />
we expected and recentstatistics show<br />
that consumerspending hasbounced<br />
back quitenicely.’’<br />
However, he warns there is still alot of<br />
pain to come. ‘‘But Waimakariri as a<br />
district is likely to get throughthis with a<br />
lot less disruption than other districts.”<br />
